Episode 157: Is Steph Curry To The Hornets THAT Crazy?! · Play 4 Keeps Podcast

• Greg: Welcome back to another episode of the Play for Keys podcast. The only podcast where we do something different every single day. Not an hour, not an episode. This is a daily thing. If your name is Andrew Wiggins, you are a freak nigga. If your name, I repeat, if your name is Andrew Wiggins, boy, you is a Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: freak bull. No, I will I will not be explaining. I do not care enough to elaborate, Jax: I forgot about that. Greg: but let me tell you, nigga. I saw that story, nigga. Yeah, that's crazy. They slid that nigga name in there like we wasn't Jax: It was it was a lot it was a lot of people on that. It was a lot of people on that fucking. I was like, what? Greg: going up. Jax: Of all people, why why are you here? What? Greg: Like the fuck? Nigga, catch you on a off night. This is crazy. Jax: And I feel like that part like it's not a lie, 'cause like nobody just randomly throws Andrew Wiggins' name and that's how you know it's the truth. Nobody will expect And like, what? Greg: That's what said. Like when you know, when you see like these these women that like talk about like, like the players that they've been with or whatever. And like if it's somebody like James Harden or like LeBron, like it's like if it's too high, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Like you they probably interacted on DMs, nothing crazy happens. If you get specific and you know they're not sport, you know they're not like a a basketball goer, and they out here talking about some Rui Hachamura. Jax: What Jon Jonathan Isaac, what are you doing here? Like what? Greg: Like just just random. I can't even say like Malik Beasley because his name is too hot right now. But like, you know what I mean? Some niggas came up and said, yeah, I used to talk to Morse Marcin Gortad. Whoa. What the Jax: Why why do you know who that is? Greg: fuck? That's yeah, that's that's a what's that nigga on the OKC? Poku a girl, a girl say Poku Jax: Yeah, pogos that are in that what's Greg: was in his DMs. I believe her. Jax: What's that one the dude his sister was the one who got caught up with the Spurs guy. Greg: yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot his name. Yeah, that Jax: Right, but like people like the Greg: people like that, I was like, this is this is niche. This is this is a little Jax: Yeah. But you shouldn't know who that person is, so Greg: Hey This is Anthony Morrow. You don't how? How do you know that? Sniper. but anyway, this is a podcast for casuals. If you are a casual, this is show for you. If you recognized any of those names, you are in fact still a casual. Let's let's not let's not do that. But quickly before we get into the things we Care about list. Donations. Of course that is. Donations. Here comes the money. Here we go. Money talks. Here comes the money. I have some bad news for some of you niggas. Mike Tomlin will not make an appearance today. We do not care. breaking news. We don't care about anything we're about to tell you. I'm gonna let you know right now. Okay. This whole Jax: Yeah. It's been a tough week. Greg: podcast is a is a whole bunch of We do not care. This would normally be a we do not care. But we are deep in the offseason, guys. So that means Jax: Yeah. Greg: we have to care about it. So me and Jax are gonna do our best to give it full effort because we normally do not care about this. When we talk about certain names, when we start talking about how this is affect LeBron's legacy, just rock with us. Just rock with us, Jax. What's the first topic we got going on? We going football or basketball today? Jax: we're gonna go with basketball. Because really only one basketball thing. And it's like Greg: Mm. Jax: it's not even really a thing for real, to be honest with you. But reports have come out that Steph Curry is disgruntled because of Greg: Mm. Jax: all the. I was gonna say all the BS the Warriors have done during the offseason, but the Warriors haven't done anything during the offseason, which is why he is disgruntled. Now, Steph, he's in line to receive a Contract extension, I believe it's let me see. Do I got that pulled up? A two-year, $136.7 million dollar contract extension. So that's what, like essentially $70 a year, which is insane. But also like Steph does if anybody deserves it, even though he's gonna be old, Steph deserves it because he's the one who he literally built that Warriors franchise up from nothing. But you know, reports came out that that he's disgruntled because you know the Warriors, they didn't go out for Jalen Brown like he had wanted. They didn't get LeBron, they didn't get Anthony Davis. All they really did was draft Yaxel Lindenberg, who looks to be pretty good. He was solid in the summer league. And they re signed Draymond Green to like a twenty eight dollar Greg: One year twenty eight million dollar deal. Jax: ex extension. Greg: Yeah. because he's Steph Curry, if he asks for anything, he should get it, nigga. I don't know why niggas out here trying to play stupid about it. If I'm Steph Curry. I would 'cause he's like thirty six. Thirty seven? Wow. Thirty eight? Jax: I think he's thirty eight. I think he's thirty eight. Cause he did multiple years in college. He didn't he wasn't one and done. Greg: Shit, okay, if he's 38, well, I know he's not gonna retire. I can't I I gotta stop saying you need to retire. Jax: Yeah, E P A. Greg: He's not gonna retire. But I would say leave. hear me out. Jax: Leave. Greg: Hear me hear me out, Jax. Because at the end of the day, take it with a grain of salt. Because we do not care. All right, since we're here. I think I would like for him to go to Charlotte. I d yeah, like hit Jax: Just 'cause he's from but is he from Charlotte or is he he was born in Cleveland, but like Greg: He was born at Akron, but his dad like he he was around the Charlotte Jax: Okay, yeah, is that Greg: because his dad used to play for Charlotte. And Jax: Okay, okay. Greg: they just got rid of one light skinned guy. they got rid of an abuser. And the team, quote unquote, because I have been checking out their stats, they had been playing better with LaMelo Ball off the court more than on the court. It's just LaMelo Ball got that star power. So in the clutch, gonna you're gonna need that nigga. They seem Jax: Yeah. Greg: like they have a well balanced team. They just need a nigga that can like take them over the top and they need a fan base, like the fan base needs to rally behind something again. Like they had like really great momentum in the playing. And then when you take LaMelo Ball out, niggas like, okay, what what the fuck we doing? Like, why do we not build it? If you put Jax: No, I feel like Greg: Steph Curry in there, I feel like everybody's like, fuck it. Like, they're not even expect like it's low expectations there. You don't have to go win a chip. Just have a storybook ending. Just do something, like, just do something crazy. Just do something crazy. And he and and the colorway looks good on on Steph. Like that's that they have good colorways. Jax: I feel like the people very soon. Greg: It won't look like a wash jersey. Like he he could fit that. Jax: I do feel like the people in North and South Carolina, cause fucking both of them for real. Both of them probably support Charlie. But I feel like they'll rally around Khan Kanipple. I don't think they need they don't necessarily need Steph. I don't think they'll have a problem rallying around Khan Knipple. But like, yeah, Steph would help them, but Greg: Why but like why not both? Jax: I just don't I mean this isn't going to happen because unless Steph is like get me out of here. And then even then, I don't know if if I was The Warriors owner, I don't even do that. Cause like I just feel like there needs to be somebody gotta stay, somebody gotta stay somewhere their whole career. Like Giannis was supposed Greg: I'll say I'll say Jax: to, he didn't do it. Dane was supposed to, he didn't do it. Like Russ was supposed to, he he never did it. Now he's a journeyman. Like Damar was supposed Greg: Can we Jax: to, now he's a journeyman as well. Like somebody gotta stay the whole time for their team, bro. Like. Greg: Nigga, I never thought DeMar was staying for his whole career. Jax: Did no Greg: I n but hear me out. Like I'll say it is. Name me a better backcourt that would be better than Steph Curry and Khan Kanipple. Jax: I mean S G A Greg: That'd be the best shooting backcourt of like all time. Well who the fuck SGA got. Jax: Jalen Williams. I'm like they're both one's a MVP, one's a all in like Con Knipp, I think is going to be very good, but he's not as good as Jalen Williams is right now. Assuming of course Jalen Williams is, you know, healthy and all that. But that's just the that was just like the first example I could think of. Greg: They finna shoot the light. That backcourt would shoot the lights out, bro. That nigga scored the most three pointers by a rookie ever. Jax: No, like Steph would be a perfect 'cause like that's the type of basketball they want to play, like with the with Charlotte. 'Cause all they do is shoot three. So that would work perfectly. But I don't know, bro. Like Greg: That would elevate that would elevate the fuck out of Khan. Like you you training with Steph Curry every day? You Jax: Yeah. Greg: just. Jax: And it's just he'd be more open 'cause respectfully people would pay like it's Steph Curry. Every anytime he's on the court, you're watching him no matter what. So Greg: Like, if Steph Curry plays with the Charlotte Hornets, bro, like that's that's not like a down in the dumps team, bro. Like that's that that's a different type of team. They they they almost knocked off Detroit. Like they almost had the opportunity to go against Detroit and knock them niggas off. You bit Steph Curry in there? Jax: You're you're talking about all this, he needs to leave and blah, blah, blah. But like what do you think do you think the era for players just staying with one team their whole career is over? You you don't think anybody else is gonna do that? So you don't Greg: It's over. No. It's over. Jax: you don't see any you don't see no star doing that anymore? Like you can't think of anybody else in there. 'Cause I like I I always thought Giannis was gonna be a one team guy and then he was like, Get me out of here and blah blah blah. I d I do think he's gonna eventually come back to Milwaukee 'cause like at least for like one year or something like that when he's old, but I'm real I think Steph might be the last one team guy. I'm really trying to think of who else. Like maybe Tatum. Greg: Yeah, no. Steph Steph Curry is Steph Curry No. I I see the writing on the wall. Once you get rid of Jalen Brown, like Jax: Really? Greg: I I could see that nigga leaving too. He may not get traded, but he might just go up and leave. Like, there Jax: Okay. Greg: is no like we we've already made it like a precedent that like what's the point of staying with this one team if they're gonna bullshit? You know what I mean? Like there there there is no loyalty. And just because and like just because you leave doesn't mean it's fuck them and I'm never gonna support them because there's plenty of teams, there's plenty of players that get Jax: Pressure. Greg: traded. And go into free agency and go to other teams, but you know they always root for that said team that they were known for. Jax: Of course. Greg: like Tony Parker's not rooting for the fucking Hornets, nigga. Like, he's rooting for the Spurs. Like what I'm saying, Jax: Name Charlie wasn't rooting for the Bucks when he was on the Bucks. Greg: Hakeem, Hakeem Elijah one is not touching Toronto, nigga. He is at almost every Rocket game. So I just think it's it's a new era. And I think honestly, they're kind of like on the They're playing catch up with like other leagues. Cause I think NBA was one of the last leagues to just be like on this loyalty train of like you're going to start here and you're going to finish here. Because with the NFL, them niggas, like, after a certain time, them niggas was getting quick to get traded somewhere else. You see Emmett Smith in a fucking Arizona Cardinals jersey and Tom Brady going Jax: Yeah, then if I do not care about it. Greg: somewhere. Yeah. So like it was already a thing. But at the same time, like there was no love lost. Like once everything is done, like Des Bryant. Left the cowboys in like bad terms at the time. Like it was just it was shitty. That nigga is going to every cowboy. Like that's he a cowboy, nigga. Jax: I feel like Des is different though, 'cause Des he had injuries and he sort of knew he was washed. And he also just didn't like Jason Garrett, but still. Greg: Yeah. So I think with with basketball and I I think you know, of course, you always can credit LeBron for like paving that a way where it's just like, Okay, I'm gonna do that. Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: But that with the combination of niggas being scared of the second apron and and niggas trying to like get ahead of certain things before like everybody wants to have this Sam Presti mindset and it's just like, Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: Okay, that's cool, but there's only one Sam Preste and you know Everybody's not gonna look as crisp and as good as how Sam Presti does it. So yeah, I I I think that's we're opening up the floodgates. Either they get traded or they leave on their own accord, but I just don't see it unless unless it's from like bet like an injuries perspective where it's like, okay, this is kind of season end ending and I'm just gonna call it quits now. I don't really see somebody stay having a fifteen year career and then just staying there. Like staying with that team. I just don't see it in in the NBA no more. Jax: I'm really trying to think of other names and like I said, Steph's really I mean, MB, Greg: Because even Dame like and it'll be Jax: but I just think MB is going to retire a seventy sixer because like nobody else is gonna want him and you know, he already signed like a lot of meters, so just really Steph and D. Greg: Yeah. Yeah. And I think Jokic I think Jokic retires early before he just gets traded. Jax: 'Cause I feel like Jokic will be like, you know, I yeah, Jokic will be I don't even want I don't want to deal with the hassle of moving and he'll just retire and go back to yeah. Greg: Yeah, like I'm I'm I'm not yeah, we're just gonna Yeah, no. So I I I don't think that. But like l literally anybody else, you're movable. And I think more and more players coming into the league kind of understand that. I think once upon a time, players, especially in the top three or four picks, they've you know, they have that mentality of like, you know, I'm gonna start my career here, I'm Jax: Yeah. Greg: gonna end my career here. And I'm not saying that they don't still have like that sense of I want to stay with this team and do great things with them. But I think they all start to understand very quick and very early. Hey, I can get moved at any time. I'm not playing this loyalty game of hometown discounts and whatever the fuck. Like, yo, like either give me my money or I'm gonna find a suitor. Back in the day, Jalen Durin would try to make some shit shake and try to figure it out with Detroit. Now he's like, man, f Jax: East Nassau. Greg: hey. Fuck it. If you're not gonna pay me, I know one of these other 29 other teams gonna pay me. So Steph was our last Jax: Yeah. Greg: hope. And Jax: Actually one more name. Greg: And on top of that, it comes, and also on the on the back end, it do it it's management and front offices are different now. Because back when Kobe was doing what he was doing, them last two years, that nigga was making 50 mil. And niggas, everybody collectively understood, yo, this is a massive overpay, and you're not gonna be able to have like a Jax: But he's not Greg: good roster. But it's fucking Kobe, and we're just gonna do right by Kobe. Yeah. Jax: It's it's the same it's the same thing as this Steph thing, 'cause that like Steph respectfully, he's Steph at thirty eight is better than Kobe was in his old age, but Kobe had the whole plays different style injuries and Greg: Yeah. Jax: all that. Like Steph is Steph's gonna be able to age better, but he's still not worth the on like on the court he's not worth like the seventy million. Like when you combine all the off court stuff, then of course yeah, but like on the court he's not what he used to be. So he's still he's still amazing, Greg: Yeah. Yeah, so some people Jax: but he's not what he used to be. Greg: Yeah, so I I I think P I think t a lot of front offices are, with the exception of s some, like they they have that mentality where they're not trying to pay for the financial decisions of overpaying for all time great in their later years. they'll rather bite the bullet, be the bad guys for a couple months or whatever, maybe a season or two, and then understand that the fan base will get back once we have a good roster. You would have thought when when they traded Luka Doncic, even though this is apples to oranges, when they traded Luka Doncic, you would have thought, yo, the Mavs will never have a legitimate fan base anymore because they're that goddamn pissed. When they got Cooper Flag, niggas Raleigh back, niggas came back, and they're selling tickets again. and I think fam like I I think ownerships and and front offices know. As long as the n as long as the team is playing good, we'll always have fans. So Jax: One more name who I know you're not gonna agree with me when I say it, but I do think he's staying there his whole career. I think Wimby's staying in San Antonio his whole career. I know you don't agree with it, but I think he's staying there his whole career. Wimby's just a different type of nigga, bro. Greg: If I had to, if I if I had to pick if I had who who had the best odds, I would say one of the has the best odds because he's he's a different type of nigga. And the Spurs front office aren't really stupid. Like they've kind of been notorious for like keeping players as long. Like if a player leaves, it's because they want to. With the exception of Tony Parker, I think he just didn't want to come off the bench no more. And he was like, I I still wanna start. Okay nigga, but nah yeah. I think Wimby is the closest thing we'll we'll get. But even then, crazy th crazy things have happened. Luca used Jax: Exactly. Greg: to be a maverick. Like I thought that was going to be forever. That changed everything. Jax: And I feel like Luca probably still Luca's probably still not over that, bro. Greg: I know he's not. I know he's not. He's not over that shit at all. Like, I wouldn't either. Jax: you think you think Luca would come you think Luca's gonna come back or try to? Greg: it wouldn't surprise me if he came back. But if he didn't come back, that wouldn't surprise me. That would be f that would be fire. Jax: That'd be live. Him and Cooper Flat, that be live. Greg: Like I I would I just don't want him to come back too old. You know what I mean? I don't want him to be thirty six, thirty seven talking about some I wanna Jax: No, I'm thinking he's coming back. I'm thinking he's coming back. But then like d cause if the Lakers don't make nothing shake, I think he could go right back to which would Greg: Yeah, that's true. Jax: be the funniest possible outcome, I feel like. Like they traded for Luca, Greg: That's fucking nice. Jax: got no rings, no nothing, and he went right back to where he started. That'd be funny. That would be funny. Greg: That would be funny. I don't know. I I I would support it. Jax: But yeah, that was that was our basketball. Whew. We did it. We got through it. But let's go ahead. Greg: Next we do not care. Jax: Let's go ahead and get to the football though. Cause we talked about this a little bit yet last week. Anyway, long we do not care. It was, you know, Kyle Shanahan. He got into his car accident. that accident he suffered like mad I know he got a concussion, he suffered mad broken bones. All this other stuff. But apparent I'm not sure if we talked about this last week as well, but the crash, it actually happened, you know, July 14th, I believe. You know, only got reported last week. So people are like, why is there this big gap and what happened? People are like, was he drunk? Was he this? Was he that? nobody really knows because it feels like they're hiding something, but he did come out and say, yeah, I was on my phone. When it happened, I was driving and I dropped my phone and I went to like drive and pick it up and that's how the crash happened. So I mean, he didn't get cited for that. People are like, it's a little weird, but whatever. But Greg, you asked a question last week. Cause you know, he's supposed to be out for a couple weeks because he has a concussion. And you were like, Who's gonna be their assistant coach? Or who's gonna be their new head coach while he's out? I do have that answer, Greg. They're going with their assistant offensive coordinator. His name is Chris Forrester. Does that does that name ring any bells to you, Greg? Greg: He looks familiar. I don't know who this nigga is though. Jax: Now, this happened a while a while ago. I don't even know if we knew each other when this happened. I can't remember. But yes, the Chris Forrester Greg: Really? It's been it was that long ago? Wow. Jax: thing. But If the name sounds familiar, it's because he was a coach for the Dolphins one time. He was a guy wrote a cocaine. Do you remember this? Greg: No! Jax: You don't remember this? You've never seen this. Greg: What the fuck? Jax: You've never seen this? Greg: No. What the fuck? What? Was this during COVID? this was pre-COVID? we definitely didn't know each other, nigga. Hell no. Jax: Alright, this is him, this video of him doing. Huh? No, this is this is 2017. So like, yeah, we didn't know each other. But this, this I remember this story. This happened. This is him doing these drugs. Do you know where he's in? Where he is? He is. Greg: In a in a in a football office? Jax: Yes, he is in his. This is when he was coaching with a dolphin. He is in his office right now doing cocaine. And he got caught up because He was sending the he accidentally sent this video. He was trying to send it to his mistress. Or I don't know if he was I don't know if he I don't know his marital status, but a woman he was seeing, a stripper he was seeing. Her name is like, I forget her name, but she was like some fine black lady. She was a stripper or whatever. And he was like s doing cocaine, sending it in like, I miss you so much, and blah, blah, blah. Anyways, I think he sent to the wrong person. This video got out and he got fired. And now he's made his way back to being a interim head coach. Greg: White people just get so many chances, bro. It really just it's just my God. Cause I'm I be thinking about this. Honestly, the Dolphins be trying to rehabilitate everybody. Mike McDaniel was on some Jax: It's Greg: other shit. Jax: it's Miami. Like they I don't think they expect any good people to wanna live in Miami long term. So they they understand what they have to what they have to go through, what they have to deal with. Greg: Bro, these niggas be getting opportunities out the ass, bro. Like if it's but when it's Brian Flores or Bienemy, shout out to him. He's been going through some shit. rest in rest in Jax: yeah, that was another thing that we get. Greg: peace to that whole situ that's crazy. Jax: No, nobody's dead. Nobody's dead. Greg: she didn't die? wow. Jax: Yeah, no, she didn't die. she's in the hospital recovering. His whole family and I know the son who they said did it. Or side note, if you guys did not know, Eric Bandamy, coach for offensive coordinator for the Chiefs. his wife was shot. It appears to be like his son was the one who did the shooting. He had like some sort of mental health break or whatever. And he did that. His wife is recovering. Eric Bandamy is back with his family and then the other son is in like custody or whatever, but yeah, that happened. But no, his wife is recovering, so that's still cra that's I can that's crazy. I can imagine Greg: Shit. Shout out to God. That's like that's crazy. Jax: that. Greg: Cause like to me, that's always been some white people's shit. So I was just like, who? I was like, hell, this is crazy. Jax: My bummy, you seen the picture of the son, he got, you know, the the weird hair dye and the face Greg: Yeah, yeah, I do. Jax: tattoos and he look like he's drugged out and everything, so Greg: Yeah, the outdated Wiz Khalifa Patch. I I saw it all, you know. The signs were there. But it's just like anybody else, they don't get the they don't get these second chances, bro. This nigga is getting a second chance to do shit. Jax: And I'm not say I don't we're not saying nobody deserves a second chance. Cause you know, grand scheme of things, this isn't the worst. Like doing cocaine in your at your job off is bad, but it's not like you know, it's not murder or nothing like there's definitely much worse things you can Greg: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there's definitely s there's definitely worse things you could do, for sure. Jax: do. But it's just like we aren't afforded these opportunities. We aren't Greg: I like, Jax: afforded these choices. Greg: like, we still getting gas lit by the Rooney Rule, nigga. Like, this is like we're we're praying that Aaron Glenn has a good season, bro. Like, there's just certain things that we're more concerned about than a bounce back coaching opportunity. Like, we gotta be on our P's and Q's, nigga. This is crazy. I had no clue about this. Wow. Nah, Jax: I thought you knew about I thought you had heard about this before. Greg: I would I was not tapped in. I'm I this is new information for me. Crazy. Jax: No, but no, he was doing drugs and sexting his stripper girlfriend and all this. Greg: Wow. Jax: you didn't hear that's funny. But like this is like what, ten nine years ago? So shit. Greg: Shit, that's crazy. That was like I was like 19. Jax: But yeah, no, he is the he's the interim head coach for the San Francisco Forty Niners now. So shout out shout out to him, I guess. Greg: Yeah, I mean hopefully hopefully he takes advantage of this opportunity, you know? I would hope. But that's crazy. That nigga was really. I was wondering why he was like, can we can we show drugs? I was like, what you about to Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: show? What the fuck you finna show me? Nigga took deep inhales. I was like, Jax: No, he was going to be he was going to. Greg: Can't even blame COVID. Like this nigga was doing it. Pete just Peak America. Jax: man, but peek that stuff was a little bit more normal back then. I mean it w Greg: Yes. Jax: it wasn't, but it was a little bit more Greg: It was it was the start of the decoin, for sure. For sure. It it was the start of the decoy. Jax: Yeah. No facts. When when people still had hope though. Greg: No, yeah, we still had a w yeah, like this will pass. Give it four years. It did. Jax: Niggas won't go away. Greg: All of my twenties, nigga. God damn. Jax: They won't go away, bro. Greg: Like fuck. Can y'all stop? Jax: And now the lettuce is killing us. Like what do we do? Greg: Y'all starting to make me y'all starting to make me hate modern medicine, nigga. Some of these niggas would have been out the way. Jax: man. But let's go ahead. Let's talk about Baker Mayfield because Greg: Mm. Jax: it's a contract year for him, and apparently the Bucks are like, you know what? We'll let you play it out. this is a four-minute clip that I thought about playing parts of, and then I was like, you know what? Not even gonna do that because it's crazy. But Baker, he said Greg: That's crazy. We do not care. Jax: He's felt disrespected and undervalued by the contract offers he have received. Now, Bucks, they came out, they leaked that. we've been offering Baker something in the $50 million a year range, which, you know, good money for anybody, obviously. But he wants to get paid more. He said he knows what he's bought to the Bucks franchise. which is very valid because he was the quarterback to pick up the pieces after Tom Brady, and they haven't really been asked at all. Like normally when you're going from a Hall of Fame franchise quarterback. You expect it to be like a l a drop-off, or you know, you expect the team to struggle, but they haven't really done that. They've been in the playoffs multiple times, well the division multiple times as well. And yeah, he's upset, he's not getting his contract. And there was another yeah, right here. And the Bucks, Baker, like I said, this is a four-minute clip. Baker, he sort of went off on them a little bit, and the Bucs were not happy with the way he spoke about the organization. This sort of just makes me think though, like, say the Bucs don't re-sign Baker next year. Like, what are they? Cause they're not going to be ass. Cause that's just not how the Bucs are built. And also Baker, he's playing, he's gonna be playing with the biggest chip on his shoulder as well. And we know what that does. If that turns him up. Greg: You know you know how that go, nigga. Jax: Yeah, so they might they might make a run to the Super Bowl, which that would suck for them because they got to pay that nigga even more. But if they don't keep Baker, like what is their option? Like, cause there's not many quarterbacks in the NFL. better than Baker Mayford. Not saying he's the best, but he's certainly not the worst. Greg: Certainly not the worst. they're not bad enough to go get like a lottery, like a lottery pick. Or I don't even know if it's called lottery, but like a top pick. yeah, bake Jax: No, it's just yeah. Like they don't have extra draft picks, don't really have Greg: Baker the type of nigga to like play well and end up with the LA Rams to replace Matthew Stafford whenever it's time to go, 'cause they fuck with that nigga, Deshaun McVeigh like him. and he's gonna do Jax: Yeah. He played with the Rams for a little. That's how he got his career back on track. Greg: And that's yeah, that's how he got his he got his groove back there. He would love to go back that way. so when it comes to Tampa, I don't understand why you wouldn't pay the man. Like, I don't know why you wouldn't lock it in. Like, I under like I understand Jax: 'Cause you know all you Greg: that there's better than Baker, but who were you going to go get? Nigga, like, who who would you be? Jax: Yeah, Baker he's thir he's he's only thirty wow, he's thirty one. I thought he was like thirty three. Greg: This nigga young well, he's young for quarterback age, like and he be hooping. Now, granted, did he have like a Jax: Yeah, like Greg: did he have like a little strong decline towards the end of the sea? Yes, absolutely. But this is also a nigga that has won. Jax: He was also a great job. Greg: True. But at the same time, like he's also somebody that has won this division a bunch of like multiple times. back when niggas had no faith that Baker Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: Was gonna hoop that way. so it's is it's a sense of like, nigga, be grateful. Y'all just lost Mike Evans. Keep something of normalcy. I think he would if if they was to move on with with him, I think that's like three straight captains that would have been gone from the team. Yeah, lost Mike Evans, Vita Veya wants to leave, and then now you're dealing Jax: Yeah. Greg: with Baker Mayfield, and it's just like not to put any like extra like emphasis on like. team captain and all this other shit. But it's just like when your leaders are leaving the that's changing the environment of of the locker room, the culture, all this other stuff. Like the the sense of normalcy is gonna be Yeah. Jax: And Baker's a culture in and of himself because that's just the type of like player he is. He's the fiery guy. He hypes your team up. He turns y'all up. So like that's a big loss no matter what. Greg: Yeah, he hooped I feel like me personally, I think Baker Mayfield hoops hoops good enough to get you to a Super Bowl. I think he has good enough talent to be there. If Sam Darnold can win you a Super Bowl, Baker Mayfield with Jax: Yes. Greg: the right pieces can get you there, can get you to an NFC championship game. Jax: 'Cause if Baker gets hot 'cause la like we talked like he did have a fall off at the end of last season, but like hurt. But at the start of last season, he was in MVP con like actual factual VP conversations. Greg: Nigga was like six like six and and then Egg Buka was going crazy. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Mike Mike you know, Mike Evan and and granted some of his other like he Jax: Abuka. Greg: started off like super high, six and but at the same time, like he was dealing through injuries and then even his weapons were like starting to get injured a little bit here and there too. I Mike Evans like nursing certain injuries, so everything Jax: Yeah, 'cause that was the first year Mike Evans didn't get a thousand 'cause he 'cause he missed like a whole bunch of games. Greg: Yeah, like the nigga had like a crazy streak of that. So I I'm looking forward to Baker Mayfield balling. when it comes down to predictions of who I think is gonna win certain divisions, let a contract not get done, you know where I'm going. I know Jax: Yeah. Greg: exactly who's winning that NFC South nigga. It is Tampa. 'Cause that nigga is on a fucking mission. So Jax: Honestly, like, where who I'm trying to think of where Baker would be in like the quarterback rankings. Like, I feel like he's. Greg: No lower than fifteen. no higher than no higher than ten. No higher. Jax: Yeah, 'cause I'd like I'd probably take him over like I'd take him over Jared Goff. I'd take him over Brock Purdy. Greg: I'd take over Hurts. I'd take over. Jax: Yeah, I take more gym. Greg: I'll take over Herbert. You said Herbert already, right? Jax: NASA hurts. Greg: I'll take it over Herbert. Jax: Time over her eye won't do that. Greg: I would take him over Herbert. Herbert hadn't done shit. Like he hadn't done nothing for me to say, Jax: But like I can't say 'cause Herbert hasn't done nothing. Herbert ain't done nothing. Greg: like Herbert clears. No, he don't. Jax: Yeah, I I get that though. I get that. Greg: He let Trevor Lawrence beat that nigga. I don't I don't I don't know how I feel about Trevor Lawrence anymore. I don't know where to put that nigga, like just in my mind. I don't know how good he is or how bad he is. I can't tell. Jax: Yeah, I take I take Baker over CJ Stroud, respectfully. CJ, you gotta bounce back, bro. CJ you gotta bounce back. Greg: Right now, yeah. Right yeah, right now, yeah. For sure. Bigger not bigger not throwing five picks. Bigger not Jax: Nah, Baker will th Baker Greg: Yeah. Jax: would throw a five pick, but I feel like it it like he'd throw the pick, but he at least tried to make the tackle. Like he's still I'd see some heart there still. CJ he got like the mollies. Greg: Yeah, he'll yeah he'll he'll he'll shoulder check he'll shoulder check a nigga for sure. He'll Jax: Yeah. Greg: get a nigga he'll get a nigga to the sidelines at least. god. Yeah Jax: Or he'll get hurt doing it, but like at least he won't be like completely crushed and demoralized like CJ was, but neither here nor there. Greg: I don't think it's I don't think it's crazy to say that he's like a A top five quarterback in the NFC. Jax: In the NFC for sure. Cause that NFC Greg: Yeah, 'cause I Jax: it'd be like Stafford, Dak. Greg: Sefford Dak, maybe Caleb Williams, Jax: yeah, can Greg: love. How do you I don't know how you feel about love? Jax: Drone Love is very like hit Love and Williams, I don't know, because they're both very f they're very, very up and down. Greg: True. How you feel about Jaden, James? Jax: He hurt. So like he only had one good year and then he got hurt. So I don't know. I wouldn't I Greg: Well, it'll be Okay. Jax: wouldn't put him over Baker just 'cause we gotta see if he can make it through the season for real. Greg: Yeah, outside of that, yeah, there's not there's not too many NFC niggas that Jax: Yeah. Greg: so that's why I'm always like thinking, like, yo, like, what other quarterback are you thinking about, you know, if it's not Baker? Jax: And respectfully, if y'all let go of Baker, Nick Baker will have he's only thirty one. He's gonna have so many options not even gonna be funny. He'll be straight. Greg: It's yes, bro. Like niggas niggas will will will scrap whatever plan they had to say, okay, Baker's right here. We can get we can get Baker. And and Jax: Let let him go let him go to the coats. Let him go to the codes. Greg: my Let the Hey, let the right team get this nigga at the wrong time. Yeah, it's it it it it'll get spooky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. But I'm not mad at it. Jax: But well since we were talking about football and Baker and blah blah blah. the preseason that starts this week because the Hall of Fame game. I wanna say that's the Panthers versus the it's a red team. It's either the Cardinals or I don't know. Greg: It might be. It might be the Cardinals. Jax: I think it is, Cardinals. Greg: think it's dark I think it's a cardinal stuff. Jax: Yep, it's the Cardinals versus Panthers. So that's happening, you know, this this Thursday, this upcoming Thursday. So that means officially preseason started. So we want to talk about some four things that each of us are sort of looking forward to seeing throughout this preseason now. you want to go first or you want me to go first? It don't really matter to me. All right, Greg: Yeah, you can go first. Start at all. Jax: one of the things I really am looking forward to seeing this preseason/slash offseason. I want to see Marvin Harrison Junior 'cause he was supposed to be like this generational next Julio Jones prospect that like was at Ohio State, which is wide receiver union. He was better than all them receivers, better than JSM, better than Gary Wilson, better than everybody. You know, he was what, a top four draft pick, went to the Cardinals. People thought it was gonna be him and Kyler Murray and they're gonna be the best offense ever. And absolutely none of that has happened. Like he's I don't know, he's been dropping passes that he didn't in college. Hasn't been getting open. It just looks sort of rough. And I wanna Greg: Okay. Jax: see like Cause he's still like he still has all the talent. Like he likes what, 6'4, 2'20, runs a 4 3. Like he has all the talent in the world. Greg: Yeah, perfect attributes for sure. Jax: But it's I think it's like a mental thing or like a confidence thing. Because it's it still doesn't make sense how the player that he was in college is so different from the player that he is in the pros. And that's one thing I want to see this preseason. See if he can, you know, get a little more consistency, a little bit more confidence. Cause honestly, if he does not, if I'm like a Even if this extends especially if this extends to the season, like if it gets to like week three or week four and he's still not really doing nothing, if I'm like the Ravens or if I'm the Chiefs or whoever, I'm going to make a call to Arizona to be like, Hey, let me can I get Marvin Harrison Junior off of you? 'Cause they could for sure need you as another receiver and maybe like a change of scenery would a change of scenery with the better quarterback would for sure turn him up, I feel like. So that's one of the one of the things I wanna see this preseason. Greg: look, respectfully, I agree. Jax: Goodness. Greg: Don't need to be Ravens though. Get the Ravens out of this. All right. We don't we don't need to. Yeah, that's cool. Jax: I'm saying any any team that need a receiver. Greg: I don't need a a a Zay Flower Squared fucking up my Lamar Jackson propaganda that I have set up. Don't let me get Marvin Harrison just for that nigga to drop a pass in a crucial moment. can't take it anymore. All right. I it the conversations are too nasty on the internet. Let another team try to do it. go to Green Bay. Jax: He's Lamar needs somebody, bro. He needs some he needs some he needs a receiver that's over six feet tall that can hopefully make like we don't know if Marvin Harrison Jr. can't make plays. We'll s we're we're trying to see. That's the goal of this whole exercise. But Greg: Yeah, yeah, the Ray the Ravens should not be the ones to find out. Find somebody already solidified. try to pry like a Mike Mike Evans away from 49ers or some Jax: Isn't Greg: shit. Like just do something. Do something else, all right? I I'm tired of y'all trying to fuck with potential. I'm tired of potential, nigga. Is it this this is a Lamar Jackson window right now? Niggas is hurting the AFC, bro. This is the this is the time, bro. Go get some shit. But As far as me, mm first person I'm thinking about, since you got wide receivers, I was gonna say Caleb Williams, but I have somebody in mind instead. And that's Keon Coltman. All right. This is a big year for you. Jax: yeah. Greg: It's a big year for you, all right? we had memes. Cam Newton did his big one. had a had a generational run last season for like three months. Jax: Unfortunately. Greg: And now it is it is your time. That's like that's not going away. It's not going away. And the only Jax: I'm like unfortunately that that's ne it's never going. It's never going to work. It's never going to go. Greg: way to overcome it is you gotta ball out. So I'm really am hoping, because coming into the coming into the his rookie year, I was a huge fan of Keon Coleman. I was a fan, I thought he was athletic, thought he was cool, thought he can get the job done. And he was starting to, you know, become a little disappointed in me. I'm like, damn, nigga, like I have faith. So I still think He can bounce back and be a good ass receiver. somebody perfect for Josh Allen on top of them already having forgot the other receiver that they have that's really good. Jesus, they just got him. Jax: They just signed 'cause they they traded for DJ Moore this offseason. Greg: Yeah, DJ DJ Moore is somebody that's just a very reliable receiver at bare minimum. Like he can he can give you a big play. and if he's your wide receiver one, that's cool, but if he's your wide receiver two, that's when your team is scary. So big year for him. So Jax: I forgot about I forgot about him, man. I that meme is so tough. So like I hope it I hope it works out for him. Greg: folks ain't gonna keep playing with you. Yeah, I love cookies. It's crazy. Jax: Well, this isn't like a singular name, but something I just wanna see, since we're talking about receivers, is I just wanna like what's going on with the Chiefs wide receivers, cause Rasheed Rice Greg: Mm. Go. Jax: is just got fresh out of prison and still with a messed up ACO. Xavier Worthy is three apples tall. Travis Kelsey is forty-seven years old. Taekwond Thornton is just tall and fast. That's cool, I guess, but who like Who is Patrick Mahomes? What like Yes Mahomes? And Mahomes coming off of ACL Terry. But like Yes Mahomes is, you know, one of the greats and all that. But Tom Brady had weapons. You know, Tom Brady had there was a while where Tom Brady didn't really have weapons for real. But like Tom Brady at least had, you know, Gronk for a time. He at least had Randy Moss for a time. You know, Pat he had Tyreek for a few years, and there was amazing years, but after that, it's just Greg: Laser. Jax: They've been trying to recreate him in the aggregate and yes, they've had success, but it's like he still needs him a number one receiver. He hasn't got that. He just has inconsistency. And Rasheed Rice is Shown to be inconsistent both on and off the field. Xavier Worthy is seen he got he his entire season was derailed last year because he ran into Travis Kelsey when he was doing a crossing route and that like broke his fucking shoulder. So like so what if he's the fastest person in the NFL? He can't say he he ran into his own player and broke his shoulder. Like Travis Kelsey is good, but he's eighty seven. So like Mahomes needs somebody to throw to. So that's why I'm just like, I wanna see who's going to break out for the Chiefs as a wide receiver because like there's nobody there for real. Greg: And honestly, what I can I what I can truly say is that Kansas City Chiefs have tried. They have attempted. Jax: yeah. Greg: Like they've it's just not been panning out. But like I can't say like, my God, like it's not like a Lamar situ he has no help. They tried to draft him. Jax: Lamar has never had Lamar has never had hope, bro. Like Greg: That I'm saying, it's just like and both the it's crazy because both of them, like, their best receiver was their tight end at at a given point. if it wasn't Mark Andrews, it was that other guy, Isaiah Likely. And then Kelsey is Kelsey. He might as well be a wide receiver one at that point. But yeah, it's just it's just crazy, man. Just it's crazy. So I'm interested to see as well, like this is Jax: And it was a good wide receiver draft that just happened and they didn't draft nobody, the Chiefs at least. That's Greg: Probably scarred, nigga. They was like, We can't just keep wasting these wide receiver picks. Like we just gotta like like it's Jax: Amen. Honest you you ain't wrong, bro, 'cause I don't Greg: just like how many wide receiver we gonna keep picking? And they just don't pay it out. Jax: Like in for Andy Reid to be is like the amazing offensive mind he is and like Grant, I don't know I know he was with the Eagles. I don't know if he drafted these players, but like he had LaShawn McCoy there. Grant, that's a running back, but and I mean they got a running back now, but like they had LaShawn McCoy, they Greg: The shrine. Yeah. Jax: had Deshaun Jackson, Jeremy Macklin, like all these cold receivers, and they just can't I don't they can't find one in Kansas City. That's crazy. Greg: Yeah. next next player that I'll go with, I'm gonna go Shadur Sanders. All right. Look, I understand that this might not be the greatest quarterback ever, okay? I understand that niggas don't like that nigga's father. I do feel like the pendulum is being swung too far in the wrong direction and niggas are just ready to write it off and say, All this niggas ass this nigga sucks. I'm not way I'm I'm not willing to say anybody is trash when they play one year with the Cleveland Browns. You can't get it out of me. I'm so sorry. This d it doesn't matter if it was Shador or somebody else. I'm just gonna need some time. They said the same thing with Baker, they didn't call Baker Mayfield trash. But they was like, this nigga a little overrated. This nigga talked too much. Yeah. And then that nigga bounced around a couple times, revived his career, and then in Tampa Bay, niggas saying, my God, it's a top fifteen quarterback. Yeah. Cause the system is set up pretty goddamn good. I I I must say. I'm looking forward to see what Todd Mukin does. Granted, I'm not no Browns fan or nothing like that, but Todd Jax: Yeah. Greg: Mukins comes from, you know, the Baltimore Ravens. And I and I have some sort of like high regard for the Ravens organization in in in general. So I I do think we'll get a better view or a better focus of like what Shador Sanders could be. But yeah, I'm just I'm just looking for, you know, what is to come and if if he can keep Deshaun Watson off the fucking field, I think that's a win for me personally. Jax: Yeah. Greg: regardless of I think Shador is good, if you can keep that nigga off the field, my work here's done. So that's what I'm gonna be looking forward to for him. Jax: the last thing I'm looking forward to, not necessarily the last thing, but the last thing I'm gonna talk about I'm looking forward to is actually I was gonna say Kyler Murray, but respectfully we we know he's gonna win that job. Like he's DeJ McCarthy's not good. Like, I'm sorry. Greg: Come on now. Not not gonna put fear in that nigga hard. Come on. Jax: But like how so safe. So safe. But Greg: Very overly safe. Jax: I wanna s I want to see Malik Willis with the Dolphins, 'cause I do think the Dolphins for sure sort of hold him this off season by, you know, convincing him to sign with them and you know, sixty million dollar contract in Miami. Who wouldn't? But, you know, they then traded away all his weapons, like he has no wide receivers. Jalen Waddle's gone. the defense is really not particularly good. The line is a work in progress. Like and people are expecting Miami to have like a high draft pick. And I feel like Malik Willis, he was set up to fail a little bit, but also like they gave him like a $60 million contract. So I feel like they want to see him succeed at least a little bit. So this is and I don't think he was like coming out of college I thought he was gonna end up, you know, stinking in the first round. It didn't necessarily happen, but I don't think he was ever given, you know, as fair of a shot as he needed to when he was in Tennessee. Cause they switched to Will Levis real fast and that went how that went, obviously. But Greg: Meme every week. Jax: With the Packers when he got to play for Jordan Love, cause Jordan Love would be getting hurt a little bit, or a lot of bit to be honest with you. Like Malik Willis, he would step in and he do very like he looked like a starting quarterback in the NFL. Like he's great arm, great on deep balls outside. He could run, like he's probably Honestly, he's probably the second best running quarterback after Lamar, just off of what we've seen so far. Like, I think he has a lot of promise, a lot of potential. And he's still pretty young. So he hasn't he's he's young and you have to touch the field that much. So I just want to see like what he can do. And, you know, if he can be a future quarterback for Miami. Because say they have like a maybe say they get like what six or seven wins this season, which sort of unlikely. But if that happens, like, is that You know, will they wanna be like, you know what, we can just go ahead and still draft a quarterback to draft? Or will they be like, you what, six or seven wins with this horrible roster we just put out, you know, we can we can keep Malik. So that's what I wanna see. Like, how Malik will it's. Greg: Yeah, if if that nigga has six or seven wins this season, I'm letting you know right now. Moving off that nigga. They're gonna try to get that quarterback, bro. So sorry. He would have to have an amazing start. He would have to Jax: And even if even if you this is just overachieving, bro. Greg: he would have to have an amazing start. He would have to have his first six or seven wins in the first six or seven games, nigga. I'm gonna be honest with you. Because that's just kind of how the game goes. But Like I said, if he if he goes like if he rips off like six and off off rip or like six and one, which is highly unlikely. yeah, then we have conversations like, my Jax: It's not. Greg: God, like we may have gotten the gym here, nigga. Hold on. We might we might be doing something. but I think in order to keep his job safe, it has to be seven. It has to be eight, because at that point, you you will be out of contention to get those quarterbacks that are coming out in the in the first round. and they would have to start building around that nigga. If you Jax: Yeah. Greg: go anything below seven, they're gonna try to wait they're gonna try to find a way to to jump in the draft. They're gonna try to find a way to get a quarterback. Cause they're banking on tanking. They're banking on Malik Willis not to be able to overcome this horrific ass roster. And then flip him to get something back in consideration. So that's how I think it's gonna go. But he can prove me wrong. He can. last and certainly not least for me, Caleb Downs. it's a lot of hype going around with Caleb Downs. I wasn't gonna I'm not gonna sit here and act like I've been watching like all the the film on this nigga. I just trust everybody around me that says, hey, he's that guy. He's that nice. I kinda wanna see how the defense uses him and how much of an impact it really, you know, affects like, you know, how impactful can this nigga be? I know that it's a lot easier for like linebackers and like edge rushers to wreak havoc and be like a day one impact person where it's like, okay, like this nigga changes the whole defense Jax: Yeah. Greg: because you're getting to the quarterback. it's it's not Every day that you see like a safety have that kind of impact on defense to the point where it's like my god, like this nigga's shutting down half the fucking field, or like from day one, like his impact will be present. So I I'm looking forward to seeing. I I I truly believe if the defense is just average, even a little bit above Jax: Yeah. Greg: average, nigga, we're hoping, nigga, we'll be having some conversations. uncomfortable conversations for other people, not me. Very comfortable. I will be I will be very safe. I will be also safe, nigga. Like it is like undisputed. Jax: I'm I'll be very, very comfortable in these conversations. Greg: So I I'm I'm looking forward to that because people talk about him a lot. and I'm not familiar with the nigga game to that degree of like how is it a transfer. So I'm looking forward seeing it Jax: I I agree with that one 'cause Caleb like the Cowboys defense last year was one of the worst, like literally ever. So any Greg: Literally. Jax: improvement, even if it's Marsman Greg: Ew. Jax: will be much, much, much better. And I think like Caleb Downs, he went to he was like I don't know where Greg: Nigga. How's the tape? Jax: he promoted, but he went to Alabama his first year and he was like a freshman starter. And Nick Saban like he played for them one season and Nick Saban was like, gosh, he's one of my favorite players ever. Then he transferred to Ohio State and did the same exact s Same exact thing for like two years. And like he's one of the he's one of them one of the prospects that like people knew he was gonna be a first rounder since he graduated high school. So I'm glad Dallas has like a real deal, like blue chip player like that. And I I mean he's gonna have his struggles because that's what happens when you're a rookie in the NFL. But I truly do think he can he can do something like The defense is gonna be better than it was last year. Cause I'm like, you really can't get worse than last year. So that's what I'm hoping for with Dallas. And I think it's going to happen with Caleb Dallas. Cause I'm you literally like you cannot get worse than you were last year. That's just I it's literally impossible. So I don't know, man. Greg: think it's about that time though. Jax, what is your high take of the week? Jax: No, my hot take. I've thought about this for a very, very, very long time. Literally since I was a child. And it's bothered me ever since then. And I understand with that preface, after I say it's a hot take, you're gonna like, what the fuck? You were thinking about this as a child, but yes, I was. I'm tired of in like movies, TV shows, whatever, where like The the good guy they defeat the bad guy and they're about to kill him and somebody's like, wait, no, please don't do it. We have to be better than them. We have to do this, we have to do that. No, nigga. Kill him. That is my hot kill him. Greg: Yeah. Jax: That is the hot like eliminate the threat for a good. Like I'm like Batman, never kill the joker. You would save so many lives doing that. I was watching I'm not gonna say the name 'cause I don't want to spoil it, but I was watching this show on Apple TV yesterday. Same exact thing happened. They was finna kill the dude, and then his wife was like, No, our kids are watching, and blah blah blah. I'm like, niggas, I don't give a fuck. I'm killing this guy. So Greg: To add to to add on to that, I Jax: Yeah. Greg: is I'm not finna sit here and act like I was thinking about this as a child, like exactly what you're talking about, but ever since I was a child, I've always hated a villain being able to describe his backstory and niggas just listening, kill him. Why are you giving him an opportunity? no, I'm talking about like not even not even on some Not only not even on some shit like that, but just a sense of like, even as the villain, shut the fuck up and kill them. Kill kill the like, do what you're about to do. Jax: explain if I'm the villain, I don't wanna I don't gotta explain shit to you. I'm the villain. I'm the bad guy. I'm going to kill you. Like Greg: I'm saying. Stop trying to like make us like the villain with his horrible backstory. Who cares, nigga? Kill him. I don't need to know the reasoning, bro. Sometimes these reasons be stupid as hell. So, like, this is not even more on the hero sty standpoint. It's more on a villain. Shut up and dribble, nigga. Go kill, go do what you was supposed Jax: Do your job. Greg: to do. Do your job. The Joker should not be Jax: Really on both sides. Greg: able that the I should not be able to hear the Joker's soliloquy. no, nigga. Do your job. And Batman get there faster. Nigga, like what the fuck? Jax: Batman carry a gun. I love Batman. My favorite superhero carry a gun. Go kill that nigga bro. Greg: Bro, go buy a Glock, nigga. The fuck? Jax: Like Greg: Go get that nine. Bitch ass nigga. I'm tired. Jax: That's just always been my issue. It's just like, bro, he's just this nigga just killed 67 people and he has a bomb that's going to blow up a bridge. And you're like, no, we can't kill. We have to be better than that. Let's send him to prison. I get that prison's terrible. I get that, you know, they're gonna be locked in there for the rest of their life. But they could get out, especially if it's in like a TV show or something. I'm just like, how about we just eliminate the threat permanently? That's just my thing. Just kill him. That's it. Just kill him. Stop being like, we're better than No, you're not. And even if you are, you're still better if you Greg: Especi especially especially regular niggas. Jax: kill him, you're still better than him. You you're not a you're not a mass murderer. You're still better than the villain. Greg: I'm saying. Especially regular niggas. Like, I I can understand the super niggas Thanos. Like, you can't really kill him. Like, some of these niggas are immortal. I get that. But regular niggas, my God. Why are y'all sold in love with due process? Kill him. Process that nigga permanently. What the fuck? Jax: Like I haven't I have not seen the new Spider Man, but whoever the villain is, I already know Spider Man's not gonna Greg: He's gonna live. Jax: kill him. Spider Man, kill him. Kill him. Just bring a gun. Greg: Hey, and you know what they hey, you know what they do? The piss us off? The heroes die. The hero dies, nigga. All of a sudden, Jax: Yeah. Greg: my god, Tony Stark. Alright, bitch. Alright, bitch ass nigga. Alright. Fuck. my hot take, that's a good hot take, I'm not gonna lie. Goddamn. Made me think. my hot take, I've been holding this one into the chamber for a lot hot little minute, but because it's discourse in this offseason, too many of you niggas are talking, not enough people dribbling, not enough niggas shutting up. My hot take is just be trivia, knowing trivia does not mean you know ball. Or you know what the fuck you're talking about. Just because you can name how every MVP in the NBA from 1959 to current day, front and back, does not mean you know what a nigga's doing in the triangle offense, what spacing looks like. fuck no. Like I get I get it that like you memorize Jax: J you just memorize students, bro. You just memorize names, that's it. Greg: stuff, you memorize the nigga stats. And that's supposed to be, my God, ooh, he knows ball. Or you'll say some shit like, my God, like, it'll talk about Mario traumers. Somebody's like, my God, what a deep pull. A deep pull for who, nigga? He played next to LeBron James in the Heatles era. That's not a deep pull, nigga. Please. Please, I heard Kevin Martin. Jax: And even if you do say like a deep pull of a name, like an actual factual one, like that still don't mean you know basketball, you just knew a nigga name, bro. Like, ooh. Greg: No, I'm saying, like, ooh nigga, you know Marson Gortad. Woo. Whoa, nigga. I don't care. So I I I I hate when people start to flex their their trivia knowledge and make that like a I know ball. You don't know ball. Jax: Trivian trivial knowledge is not born knowledge. Greg: It is not ball knowledge. That and so are a ball knower can know some trivia knowledge because they watch the game long enough and there's certain things that they just remember because of the game. But some of you niggas look like and sound like you practice flashcards every day on Quizlet when it comes to this NBA stuff. Like, my God, yeah, he averaged 28 points, 14 rebounds, and nine as nine assists in in the year 1997.

But when we're actually having real basketball conversations, please cut it out with that analytical talk to like a certain degree of like facts and tri Who cares? Jax: Yeah. Greg: Who cares? Talk ball like a random adult. This is why the Barbershops used to do so much for the community, bro. Like it's fuck, bro. A nigga in a barbershop used to tell you to shut the fuck up about some shit and just talk about the game. Like it's is it's levels, bro. But my God.
